[MlMt] Custom keybindings file

[Eric Sharakan]

I thought I'd done this before (for defining coloring rules, not keybindings), so I googled it, and up popped a thread from back in 2014 between you and Benny (at https://lists.freron.com/mailmate/2014-March/002177.html) where he says:

> Yes, but it's still the value you need. For smart mailboxes the value is an actual UUID, but for IMAP mailboxes then the IMAP URL is unique in itself. A few standard mailboxes have hardcoded values such as “ARCHIVE”. It's an implementation detail I didn't originally expect to “leak”. Sorry about the confusion.

Since all my coloring rules involved smart mailboxes, I always ended up with what looks like a typical UUID when I did the Cmd-C trick on a mailbox.  Doing the same thing an an actual IMAP mailbox yields an imap: URL.

Assuming Benny's comment still applies, it seems you are doing it as he expects, and perhaps you've uncovered a bug.  Though it's interesting that your working keybindings file has all UUIDs; wonder how those were obtained for the IMAP mailboxes?

Hopefully Benny will respond with some ideas.  If not, you might want to use the Help->Send Feedback... menu item to send mail to him directly.

BTW, you didn't state what version of MM you're running.

The file type should be the same (they're text files, but the extension is .plist.) The main thing I've done is ensure that the correct mailbox UUIDs are present; I used copy and paste.
